Great location to explore the beautiful Isle of Skye. Lovely room in the main house. The bathroom is downstairs (which is not a problem as you immediately feel at home), the bathroom is spacious offering all you need (incl shampoo, shower gel,…). The breakfast place is cosy with a nice view, and the breakfast is ab-so-lu-te-ly delicious. There are several options to choose from - no worries, all equally great. Further, the picnic menu prepared by Viv was really a great add-on. And last but not least: the warm welcome, incl. local suggestions about what to do, the little gestures such as super tasty muffins after a rainy day, the drinks in the room, … all contributed to the great chill atmosphere. We love small local B&B’s like this and would defintely recommend a stay at Viv and Steve’s - you won’t regret it, promised :-)

Meenakshi Germany

Beautifully furnished, hugely welcoming hosts, fabulous breakfasts and great views. Thank you Viv and Steve!

Natalie United Kingdom

Vivienne and Steve were delightful hosts who took the extra mile to make our stay a home from home. The bothy was tastefully decorated with the creature comforts of city life made available (think Netflix, WiFi) and its views were unparalleled. Breakfast and the Picnic Club were sumptuous. The location was also a stone's throw away from some of the greatest attractions Skye has to offer (Fairy Glen, Quiraing), yet Portree (Skye's largest town) is sufficiently close by for groceries and food options.

Peter United Kingdom

Viv and Steve were the most wonderful, hospitable hosts and went above and beyond in helping us with anything we needed. The property was absolutely gorgeous and had everything we needed. Supper club on the first night was a real treat. We would love to return in the future!

Alexandra Australia

Vivienne and Steve are the most considered and loveliest hosts. They go above and beyond to make your stay the very best it can be with so many little touches. It was honestly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in my life because of all the thought that goes into the experience. The food is AMAZING too. Do yourself a favour and sign up for their supper club and get a picnic box too. The bothy itself is super luxurious and comfortable with amazing views , you won’t want to leave. Thank you again Viv and Steve for the best time. Bridget and Sophie

Bridget United Kingdom

We stayed at Abhaig for 3 nights and loved every second of it. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provide special little extras here and there. We ate dinner at the property on the Friday night and it was the best meal we had on the island. The views are incredible from the bothy, and we would definitely stay here again.

Lauren United Kingdom

Everything! Beautiful relaxing accommodation, delicious food and wonderful hosts who went way beyond what would be expected to ensure we had a lovely stay.

Vivienne & Steve
We welcome you to Abhaig, our home and small B&B. We hope you enjoy the beautiful rural location and our hospitality. We are located in North Skye, 14 miles from the islands capital Portree and in a very peaceful setting with beautiful views, also just on the doorstep of some of Skye's best areas of natural beauty (Quiraing, Fairy Glen, Old Man of Storr, Kilt Rock). The house itself is traditional, but modernised and up to date, we have a pretty garden. We offer a lovely room in the main house plus a luxurious stand-alone suite (or Bothy) just footsteps from the Main house. Foodies are very welcome here, Viv loves to cook superb breakfasts and we are also known for our fantastic picnics on request! Please note we have pets (cat and dog) in the house, in fact we run a small dog home boarding business from the home, so total separation can be unavoidable at times. Being animal friendly as guests is a real bonus! We have parking on site and are within walking distance (30mins) or a short drive from the village of Uig. Please note we unsuitable for those with mobility issues due to steps and stairs in and around the property.
We really appreciate communication with each guest, we are all about the personal touch. So please send us a message and stay in touch before your arrival. In turn we can let you know all about the food we do, advise on things to see and do in the area. Looking forward to hosting you in our small boutique B&B.
The township of Earlish is rural, within crofting countryside. Its a quiet setting with lovely views. There are no street lights, is a good spot to view the Aurora Borealis or Northern lights. We only have a couple of other houses nearby, so it is private and relaxing.
